Can My Crooked Sliding Genioplasty Be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  I had genioplasty when I was 20 years old and since then I feel that my chin is crooked and I’d like to have it fixed.

A:I am assuming when you refer to fixing a crooked chin after a sliding genioplasty that you want the bone repositioned rather than a camouflage implant overlay. To properly evaluate the chin and plan for such bony repositioning a 3-D CT scan is needed to have a clear visual understanding of the nature of the asymmetry and how best to cut and realign it.
